CHICKEN TIKKA<\/p>\n

600g chicken breast
\n400ml cups natural yogurt
\n1 tablespoon lemon juice
\n2 tablespoons ginger paste
\n2 tablespoons tikka masala sauce
\n1 tablespoon red chili powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
\n1 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

CURRY<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons oil
\n1 onion, finely chopped
\n2 tablespoons ginger paste
\n1 teaspoon cumin seed
\n2 black peppercorns
\n2 cloves
\n1 teaspoon red chili powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon coriander powder
\n1 teaspoon garam masala powder
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n2 tomatoes, finely chopped
\n100ml natural yogurt
\n100ml water<\/p>\n

RICE<\/p>\n

400ml water
\n300g basmati rice, soaked for at least 20 minutes
\n1 bay leaf
\n1\/2 teaspoon cumin seed<\/p>\n

BIRYANI ASSEMBLY<\/p>\n

200g onion, carmelised
\n20g fresh coriander, finely chopped
\n1 tablespoon oil
\n200ml water, saffron-infused<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven 430F\/220C.<\/p>\n

Combine all the chicken tikka ingredients and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n

Skewer the marinated chicken pieces on bamboo skewers, then place them over a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly.<\/p>\n

Reserve the chicken tikka marinade for later use.<\/p>\n

Bake the chicken skewers for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges and cooked throughout.<\/p>\n

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, then saut\u00e9 the onions with the herbs and spices until just browned.<\/p>\n

Add in the chopped tomatoes and fry till soft.<\/p>\n

Pour in the yogurt, water, and reserved tikka marinade, and mix it well with the vegetables and spices.<\/p>\n

Bring the mixture to a boil, add in the chicken and cook for a further 4-5 minutes. Set aside.<\/p>\n

In a large pot, assemble your biryani in the following layers: 1\/3 rice, 1\/2 chicken curry, 1\/2 caramelised onion, 1\/2 coriander, 1\/3 rice, oil, 1\/2 of the saffron-infused water, 1\/2 chicken curry, 1\/3 rice, the rest of the saffron-infused water, 1\/2 caramelised onion, and finally top with the remaining coriander.<\/p>\n

Simmer the biryani over a low heat for 10 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the rice and chicken are heated throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
